Releasing my debut album has been one of my most meaningful life-experiences, and apart from the times playing my livesets, I seem to never have found a right moment to share it personally with the world. Today it has been exactly one year since the release-date, so this should be a good moment.

Kindred Phenomena

Diamonds 1 is the sixth album made by Diamorpha.

"Kindred Phenomena marks Mattheis' debut album. After two cosmic EPs on Nous'klaer and a mini-album on tape for Ecstatic Recordings, he now returns to Nous'klaer for his first full story. An album shaped for every occasion: driving from the city to the island, dancing in the living room, or raving at sunset. On Kindred Phenomena Mattheis picks up where he left off: 'Swell' serves as another episode of the prisms, the modular synth excursion of 'Bit Fragments' pushes his arpeggiator solos a step further, and album standout 'Ben_M' provides his most beautiful dance of melodies yet. The album consists of eight tracks and comes as a double 12 inch for deejay convenience; and for the ultimate experience: go see Mattheis perform his album live on the road."

We welcome Israeli producer Niv Ast to the Play Pal Series and also to the label as he'll be on board in one of the following Ep's.

After playing at Tel Aviv main clubs for over six years, he's also now focused on his own productions and a new live act which includes distortion guitars, ecstatic percussions and hypnotizing vocals, that he's presented at 'Calvi On The Rocks' Festival, 'The Waiting Room' and 'The Block'.

With music released and forthcoming on labels such as Ombra, Correspondant, Relish, Calypso and Snap Crackle & Pop to mention just a few, he's become one of the producers most in demand nowadays.

He's also started the label 'New Day Everyday', which as he describes it, it's a small-friendly-boutique label set up by him, Eliezer and Daniel Weil.

Stay tuned for more mixes coming up and our next Ep right around the corner.

Enjoy the mix!

Play Pal Mix 034: Niv Ast (New Day Everyday / Correspondant / IL)

This Story is based on the theory of "Cosmological Constant", the representation of the energy density that arises in the Einsteins general relativity equation. Sound cannot travel in this vacuum, if it all it does, it only takes a leap. This law in our space time was used as an inspiration and the lower end of acid frequencies (sub bass ranging from 90khz to 250 khz) was used for my transitions due to its hollow nature, just like vacuum energy.

Recorded live @ Red Light Radio on 14/08/2019 representing Sinchi Collective!

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: https://lnk.to/CRMCD040

Following on from the Moment in the Dark EP featuring remixes from Adam Port, Satori and Tibi Dabo, Damian Lazarus celebrates the tenth anniversary of his acclaimed debut album Smoke the Monster Out, with the release of a remastered and expanded edition on his own label Crosstown Rebels.

A decade ago I released my debut solo album on the label Get physical. It was the first time I’d let myself loose in the studio and what came out was a psychedelic collection of extremely strange and bizarre songs. I wanted to make an album full of my inspirations and influences, for exotic after parties, and with no consideration about necessarily getting played in the clubs. It divided opinion at the time and seemed to defy easy categorisation. My own sonic curveball. Here we are ten years on. I’m pleased to report that ‘Smoke The Monster Out’ is still as weird as it ever was. Still genre proof. Still an ‘album’ in an era of tracks and playlists. Now forthcoming on Crosstown Rebels, remastered and with three bonus tracks from the original studio sessions, it’s ready to confuse everyone all over again!

Smoke The Monster Out, originally released in 2009, was the first time Damian had written and produced his own music. Known across the globe for founding the Crosstown Rebels label, his captivating DJ sets and divergent Lazpod podcast series, his debut album is an emotional and humorous expression of his genre-defying imagination.

Following ongoing experimentation with lyric writing and production, Damian invited Arthur Jeffes (son of the Penguin Café Orchestra’s Simon Jeffes), Classic records head honcho Luke Solomon and Mark Ralph (then a member of Filthy Dukes and now a world renowned producer for the likes of Clean Bandit, Years & Years, and Jax Jones) into the studio with him. The result was a unique blend of music that represents Lazarus’ personality and vast experience of the dark and light moments that are captured on the dancefloor. The Guardian went as far as describing the album in 2009 as: “Less troubled and deep than Björk's Debut, it still captures the atmosphere of late-night clubland – the transcendent freedom, the fuzzy unreality, the implicit emptiness, the dysfunction – with a similar potent accuracy. That it does so by fusing Ricardo Villalobos and Robert Wyatt, and slipping in a Scott Walker cover, might explain why it is not being hailed as one of the crossover albums of the year. But it is."

Ten years on the album that draws on inspiration from: techno and house, rock and pop and drum and bass, still remains as challenging and exciting as it was upon its initial release and will capture the attention of both new and old fans alike. 

Everything about Smoke The Monster Out feels idiosyncratic, direct and carefully thought-out: both the artwork and the title (which references Alice in Wonderland) evoke Lazarus’s interest in the loss and the return of innocence, the imagery of fairytale fables, and the battle to control and satisfy the emotions without losing sight of humour. Lazarus has a vision, and isn’t afraid to realize it. He continues to live this vision through the music released on his label, the groundbreaking festival he curates Day Zero and the story that unfolds during his DJ sets to audiences around the world every week.
